Application Software

Application Software

Software is the Platform for managing RFID data and routing it between tag readers or other auto identification devices and enterprise systems.

Software being the key component of RFID solution, reliability, stability, scalability and open interface to third party systems are key requirements for the system to deliver what customer expects. TrackSeal software delivers all this and more and at very competitive price.

Our software is not just the middleware, but an end-to-end solution to meet all customer requirements. We can deliver –

  • Complete solution to manage entire process from tagging items to monitoring them and then reporting to customers based on complex filters configured by the customers
  • Provide required data to existing enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM etc.

Following are the key feature of our software -

1. To uncover the operational benefits of RFID (reducing out-of-stock situations, decreasing labour requirements in the receiving process etc)

Processes the incoming RFID data and intelligently integrate it into customer's business applications.

2. Not all of the incoming RFID data is valuable

Duplicate reads and excess information are filtered out so as not to bog down the network and end up with confusing information inside the applications. The rate of tag reads, duration to treat tags as duplicate etc. are all configurable, giving full control to the user.

3. Support for interfacing to many RFID readers

The cost and various features provided by different readers make our software support many reader brand interfaces and hence providing customers to select the brand of readers they need

4. Different RFID information needs to be passed off to different applications and data stores.

For example, reads at the loading dock may need to be passed off only to the plant’s local warehouse management application

Demand stream information coming from a retailer may need to be sent all the way up to the supplier’s enterprise demand forecasting solution

Different flight baggage need to route to different belts

Active tags passing through exit doors need to activate alarms

5. Reader and device management

Software allows users to configure, deploy, and issue commands directly to readers through a common interface

For instance users should be able to tell a reader when to “turn off” if needed

6. Data management

After software captures EPC data from readers, it must be able to intelligently filter and route the data to the appropriate destinations. Our system provides low-level as well as complex algorithm to filter and do data exchange with many applications

Reporting tools are provided for generating simple and complex reports

7. Application integration

Our software solution provides the messaging, routing, and connectivity features required to reliably integrate RFID data into existing SCM, ERP, WMS, or CRM systems, through run time configurable –

Web APIs

Direct database data exchange

File Exchange

Application programming interfaces (APIs) and adapters for using standard technologies like JMS, XML, and SOAP to integrate with other third-party applications

8. Partner integration

Some of the most promising benefits of RFID come from sharing RFID data with partners to improve collaborative processes. In order to achieve this, we provide -

B2B integration features like partner profile management

Support for B2B transport protocols

Integration with a partner’s data over communications such as EDI, Web-based systems like AS2, or a well- engineered system specifically for EPC data

9. Process management and application development

We not just do data exchange with enterprise systems, but orchestrate RFID-related end-to-end processes. Instead of just routing RFID data to business applications, we can interface and exchange data with multiple applications and/or enterprises.

10. Packaged RFID content

RFID middleware platforms that include packaged routing logic, product data schemas, and integration with typical RFID-related applications and processes like shipping, receiving, and asset tracking are major assets

No one wants to start from a blank sheet of paper, and this content can give you a head start on your RFID projects

11. Architecture scalability and administration

RFID adoption is going to produce a lot of data, and RFID middleware is the first line of defence for reliably processing that data

Features need to span all tiers of the architecture even the devices that are located near or on the actual readers.
